Solved Znote AAC: Remove Town choice when creating character

[Jfrye]

As the title says, How can I remove the town selection from the Create Character page? When I tried to remove the code from config, it says

• Permission Denied. Wrong town.

Wrong board. Please move thread, since I cant edit it.

An easy work around would be to add style="display: none;" to town select html element. And make just one town available at config.php.

      <li style="display: none;">
         <!-- Available towns to select from when creating character -->
         Town:<br>
         <select name="selected_town">
         <?php foreach ($config['available_towns'] as $tid) { ?>
         <option value="<?php echo $tid; ?>"><?php echo town_id_to_name($tid); ?></option>
         <?php } ?>
         </select>
       </li>

Else you would have to remove it. And also change this:

  $required_fields = array('name', 'selected_town');

Remove this

       // Validate town id
       if (!in_array((int)$_POST['selected_town'], $config['available_towns'])) {
         $errors[] = 'Permission Denied. Wrong town.';
       }

And hard code the town id here

     $character_data = array(
       'name'     =>   format_character_name($_POST['name']),
       'account_id'=>   $session_user_id,
       'vocation'   =>   $_POST['selected_vocation'],
       'town_id'   =>   $_POST['selected_town'],
       'sex'     =>   $_POST['selected_gender'],
       'lastip'   =>   ip2long(getIP()),
       'created'   =>   time()
     );

You should post your town part of config.php, maybe you are doing something wrong there.

Town names and ID:
https://github.com/Znote/ZnoteAAC/blob/master/config.php#L319-L324

    // Town ids and names: (In RME map editor, open map, click CTRL + T to view towns, their names and their IDs.
    // townID => 'townName' etc: ['3'=>'Thais']
    $config['towns'] = array(
        2 => 'Thyrfing',
        3 => 'Town 3',
    );

Allowed towns when creating a character:
https://github.com/Znote/ZnoteAAC/blob/master/config.php#L369-L370

    // Available towns (specify town ids, etc: (0, 1, 2); to display 3 town options (town id 0, 1 and 2).
    $config['available_towns'] = array(2);

Just edit available_towns with the town ID you want players to be able to choose from.
Make sure those town_ids have a name in the above config ['towns'].

The town select field when creating character should automatically update with only the allowed towns. At least on the official versions of Znote AAC.

@Znote, I have that part working ok, but I want to remove the option for them to choose the town. Currently they have 1 town that they can choose, so really there is no need for the selection box to be there for my needs. When I remove the selection box, I get the error I posted above. I will try @Peonso suggestion when I get back to the computer in a few hours and post my findings.

Don't use his solution, it is just extremely dirty. You can just do in createcharacter.php:

$town = (count($config['available_towns']) > 1) ? $_POST['selected_town'] : end($config['available_towns']);
//Register
$character_data = array(
    'name'      =>  format_character_name($_POST['name']),
    'account_id'=>  $session_user_id,
    'vocation'  =>  $_POST['selected_vocation'],
    'town_id'   =>  $town,
    'sex'       =>  $_POST['selected_gender'],
    'lastip'    =>  ip2long(getIP()),
    'created'   =>  time()
);

<?php if (count($config['available_towns']) > 1): ?>
<li>
    <!-- Available towns to select from when creating character -->
    Town:<br>
    <select name="selected_town">
    <?php foreach ($config['available_towns'] as $tid) { ?>
    <option value="<?php echo $tid; ?>"><?php echo town_id_to_name($tid); ?></option>
    <?php } ?>
    </select>
</li>
<?php endif; ?>
